Excerpt from Tempest and Sunshine, or Life in KentuckyH was the afternoon of a bright October day. The old ton clock had, just wlied the hour of four, when the Lexington and Frankfort daily stage was heard rattling over the stony pavement in the small town of V Ky. In a few moments the four panting steeds were reined up before the door of the Eagle, the principal hotel in the place. Mine host, a middle - aged, pleasant-looking man, came bustling out to inspect the new comers, and calculate how many would do justice to his beefsteaks, strong cofl'ee, sweet pota toes, and corn cakes, which were being prepared in the kitchen by Aunt Esther.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
